Outstanding Conditions and GREAT prices

The course is a hidden gem of the SC Lowcountry. The cost value for this course can't be beat. The condition of the course this early in the spring is a true testament to the superintendent. The greens are lush, fast and near perfect. The setting is true South Carolina at its best, my home sweet home, This is what Beaufort County looked like 50 years ago when I first came. This is not a stuffy HHI Country Club environment, it is just GOLF, as it should be. If you don't understand, I feel sorry for you.

Marine Base

Great layout. We walked and finished in 3:20. Great atmosphere being on a Marine Base in the low country with many holes on the water. Fairly open course with good greens

Good experience.

Greens were in great shape. Fairly open layout. We ended up as a twosome which made a 4 hour and 15 minute round feel like 6 hours. The course was in good shape, the price was great. Make sure you bring all I D to get on to the base.

Beautiful layout and good pace of play

Course was crowded with all the carts out yet round still completed round in four hours. Lots of interesting water lined holes. I particularly like the backdrop views of wetlands from 12 and 13 greens. Looking for gators adds to the fun.

Dysfunctional

Place Needs better oversight at check-in. Very unorganized at check in. We had to wait for other golfers to get done with their round to get a cart. Then they made the group that loaded their cart in front us unload and give us their cart. Talk about awkward!!!

Bang for the buck!

This course is one of the best maintained and well priced golf experiences in the low country. Beautiful links style layout that is both challenging and fair. The greens are some of the smoothest and fast in the area...especially for the price. With the fresh bunkers the course looks great. My favorite course in Beaufort County!

Nice course. Greens were in great shape and fast. Cool day and really windy made for quite a challenge. Looking forward to going back when the weather is better. The man in the the pro shop was very helpful and fun to talk to

Marines search vehicles before entering Parris Island!

Have your DL, vehicle registration and insurance card ready. Must be presented before entry. Without these, your vehicle will be impounded and you will be detained and fined. Then they search the vehicle. DO NOT bring alcohol, drugs or weapons.
Once you get past the gate, things get better. The golf staff is excellent. The greens are fast and smooth. The fairways and bunkers are OK. The tees are fair.
Very intimidating gaining entry. I recommend the course, but it may not be worth the hassle getting past the guards.

Thank you for your nice review of the golf course! Regarding the gate: there is no penalty for not having your ID. Vehicles cannot be impounded nor can anyone be fined. Since this is a Military base, everyone who enters must have proper ID; but we welcome ALL players to enjoy the amazing experience of playing at The Legends!

Parris Island, famously know for it's Marine training, has a fantastic golf course! Every time I've played Parris Island, the greens have been in fantastic condition. Some very scenic holes, and depending on the day you play, you'll see some Marines training. The course isn't difficult, fairly open, but a solid fun layout. The last round I played the course was in good condition in the winter, even after a lot of rain. Extremely friendly staff and you'll play a quick pace at a great course. Probably the best valued course you can play

Always An Enjoyable Experience

Regardless the time of year you can always expect an enjoyable round of golf at a very fair value for your money. The course is consistently well maintained where rarely there is a need to improve your lie. The “super” and his crew should be complimented for a job well done. Course design is everything you want in a course whatever your skill level, requiring course management as you negotiate your way through the 18 holes. After your round, you can enjoy a first rate prepared lunch (typical post golf fare) and ice cold beer at a very fair price. Hats off, to the Head Pro and his staff as they’re always interested in improving your future experiences at the course.

Thank you for your 5-star review! We try to provide a well-conditioned course and we've been busy this winter with a variety of improvements such as new tee boxes, bunkers and practice areas. Thank you, again, for taking the time to share your experience at The Legends!

Love the course set up. Women get a lot of advantage off the tee. The greens were great; no imperfections or spike marks & they ran true.

Good place to play

This was my second round at Parris Island and I can't wait to play it in the summer. Dormant conditions but a great round just the same. They are working on the traps and I personally think there's too much sand in the fairway bunkers. But with most courses in the area having little sand or poorly maintained bunkers, I can't complain much.

A lot of wildlife, Marines on a run nearby and friendly staff, this is worth the hour drive from Savannah.

Worth the trip.

A very nice, open, yet challenging course. If the wind was up the challenge would have quadrupled. Two notes... we're not US residents so entry to the base required getting the "Friends of Parris Island" pass. Takes a few days. Glad we did. Everyone we dealt with was super nice.
Other noteworthy observation... we happened to be golfing while an enactment or military exercise was occurring. Couldn't see it, but could hear the extraordinary drama of chaos and carnage. It was a bit unsettling and caused a genuine reality check. Most unique golf round I've had in years.

Oops

We were denied access to the base because of our citizen status (Canadian). Within two days we were cleared, but it was too late for our tee time. We will try again since the reviews sound terrific, but if you are not holding a US drivers license or a "Friend of Parris Island" pass you will be not be golfing until you are approved. A nugget that would have helpful to have before we purchased the GolfNow tee time the evening prior.
